A real treat in April. The new Loopus in Fabula album is out and about. The Italian duo's sound has come a long way since 1998. If you ever had the luck to meet Matteo Stroppa you would have noticed a positive artist dedicated to the scene as much as to his music. Eager to generate and explore new sounds in what we call psytrance. Himself and Loopus co-founder Jacopo Barbaccia bring a fresh approach to trance life in this album.
So, in true funkedelic spirit Loopus attacks with Fat Ladies Bingo, an odyssey into the funky, quircky and upbeat psychedelic paradox.

The CD kicks off patiently with funky-soft Doofy Duck. The methodical rhythmic Controversy continues with a stronger kick and more hypnotic tech-trance funkodelia.
LIB enter a new domain with the slightly darker Dreamschwartz. Next YSD has that familiar Fabula flavor closer to the experimental Aussie sound.
Fat Old Ladies takes a more twisted but funny approach clearly showing that Loopus in Fabula still want to have fun without taking things too seriously.
Funky Express is possibly the equivalent of a psytrance chick flick. Just look around you on the dancefloor with this one.
Feel again, another gem from the Fabula stables, a funky fresh sound with an electro-twist. Just what the doctor ordered.
Rockit is another experimental affair with some juicy ambient breaks and sounds. It implodes instead of exploding.
Loopus go out with a Funk here with the wah wah guitar driven Let's Dance.

The best sound from Loopus, one of the most original bands in the scene, to date.
